MO Bar + Lounge Reviews

Pamela´s talent is impressive, from her original cocktail creations, to the classics like a Sazerac, what she prepares is just magic! Savoring such delicious drinks in this marvelous place, facing Downtown skyline is a moment you would like to last forever. Service is smooth, elegant, extremely friendly but always, perfectly, professional. A must you need to experiment when in Miami.

Service was pretty slow and drinks expensive, but it was a nice bar with the real added bonus of live music, good as well, both nights we were there. The food menu was a little uninspiring.

Enjoyed a quick light lunch. Very fresh salad and well made drinks. Fantastic service! Relaxing atmosphere with a water view and seating outside.

Nice food and drink selection. Very good service. The staff is very friendly and the lounge is cozy. There is also outdoor seating.

Service and quality is what you expect in a bar like this. Well you get this plus a wonderful live band playing beautiful songs and the view to Brickell downtown adds the cherry on top.

The MO Bar and lounge was a wonderful experience. The bay views were perfect, and the atmosphere was inviting. The food was excellent, good quality, and tasteful. Our server, Bianca, was fantastic.

My sisters and I loved the bar. The view is beautiful and we could sit outside, which was really pleasant. We got there late so we didn’t eat, but the drinks were very good. The waitress was excellent, polite and friendly. We want to go back for a meal next time!

The No bar is amazing place to be with a friends. Very high level of service. You always feel welcome. I was there for happy hours, price and quality of drink , food and service is absolutely AMAZING!!! thank you very much , guys for your job. !

Extremely attentive service. The will do whatever you want or can think of. High quality sushi, inventive cocktails, good wine by the glass. The view of the Miami Skyline is fabulous view of Miami- we've been several times with no disappointments

We had great drinks in the lounge. I had the tamarind and jalapeño Pasco sour which was well made and had a nice kick to it. My bf had the pineapple and aji rocoto margarita which was amazing if you like spicy and salty. The sweet potatoes does were okay...I would try something different. Nice stop for a quick drink!

Very rude staff, they ignore customers, and when going at the bar to ask for order, they are not welcoming ! The food ( Sushi) were good. It is very very noisy ! Sad because the view is amazing and the hotel doesn't meet MO standard !

Ask Steve for the purple haze. Wonderful place to sit and people watch. Pamela was such a dear and very attentive. Exquisite!

Fabulous cocktails, great presentation. Music is great inside the lobby. Service is professional and friendly.

While staying at the Mandarin Oriental, we enjoyed some cocktails at the MO Bar & Lounge and loved every minute. Fridays and Saturdays, they have live music in the evening which provides a lively and up beat atmosphere. The environment is great for couples or friends catching up. Besides the live music, the music that they play at the bar as well as the hotel, is perfect for invoking that relaxed and sexy vibe. Loved everything about it. P.S. Especially loved the Cloud 9 cocktail.

This lounge inside the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Miami is absolutely beautiful. Very comfortable and well laid out so guests are not sitting so close together, just close enough. The staff was very professional and courteous. Bar seating as well as table seating and outside as well on the Miami River. Just lovely.

I used to go to M bar but they remodeled it and now it looks just great. Very friendly place, the drinks are fantastic and best of all is the head bartender Eric, he is absolutely charming and even though they have a huge martini menu, he will ask you what you would like and he will either suggest from the menu or create a drink with whatever you prefer. He really makes this bar a place you want to come back time and time again. Eric is truly an asset to the bar. Great job!

Nice setting overlooking the Bay. Nice friendly staff and well served drinks. Always kept clean and tidy, no soggy shirt leaning on the bar here!

The place is very nice. Service is outstanding. Check your ticket for discount in the valet parking. The noise level is good, the music sounds but you can have a conversation. Cocktails are very good. Definitively a nice spot in Brickell Key, a nice island enclave in Brickell . I definitively return.

We stopped for lunch mid afternoon and there were no crowds or loud music, just Gerald and a beautiful view. We sat at one of the few outside tables adjacent to the bar overlooking the bay. We shared a Caesar salad, which was fresh and enjoyable, and a cheeseburger with fries. Food was good but pricey. One test for me is would I visit again after the experience, and this passes. Mandarin offers the kind of services one expects from a 5 star venue! Thanks Gerald and the doorman!

Very friendly service even if a small food menu. When empty a lovely place to linger and have a drink.

Excellent caipirinhas. The servers were polished and tried to keep their composure even when presented with a challenging crowd. Drinks are pricey but that is par for the course at the MO. I took a star off just because it was so hard to get consistent access to the servers and to actually find seating in the lounge due to the number of children and others who were being served water in an attempt to 'look like patrons' while they waited to stalk a Celebrity.

Drank on several occasions at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere and prompt service. Especially good value at happy hour.

Staying at the Mandarin Oriental is a treat in itself. The rooms, restaurant and service are second to none..The MO Bar + Lounge is no exception a great way to start of finish off your night around Miami. Great vibe, mixologists are friendly. The beautiful lobby and well appointed decor thoughout make it easy to unwind here. Small plates are available, my wife and I enjoyed this spot after our dinner. I would come back even if I was not staying at the Mandarin. Definetly check this palce out if you are hanging around the Downtown / Brickell area.

Mo Bar and Lounge is by far the best all round occasion bar and lounge on Brickell. Superb service from the entire staff, Pam certainly holds court as the "Queen" of the team, Sean, Jose and the rest of the crew are equally as kind, talented, personable and truly committed to ensuring you feel as if you are a member at your very own "Mo Bar Club". Sushi is outstanding, personally love nibbling on the signature MO Bar roll while sipping some Piper well chilled. The Mahi Siiders are also quite tasty. The live music is festive and fun and this spot never disappoints. Perfect venue for leisure or business outings, whether your heading out solo, on a first date, having a "date night" as a couple or a mixed group outing of any size. Cheers!

My husband and I enjoyed a drink at this bar on a Friday afternoon. Service was good, drinks tasty and well prepared, with nice olives and wasabi tidbit snacks offered. We asked for peanuts but they didn't have any. This is why I did not give the bar 5 stars. How can you run a bar in the USA without peanuts and other nut munchies?

why do i have to wait with only 5 people at the bar? over deliver, under delivered. pool service slow! can do better

Mid-afternoon snack during a conference in the Mandarin, which consisted of a sushi roll, a sashimi order and two drinks. Total tab $110. Wow!! Yes, the food and beverage were both excellent, and the service was very good, but $110? Please...

Excellent service, comfortable, usually a musical group in the evenings. This is Miami, so it's priced like the rest of the city, but certainly a great facility

good affordable food and nice ambience. It´s somewhere you can go with friends or that special someone.

Great drinks and snacks for happy hour. The sushi is wonderful as well. Try to go when there is live music, so much fun!

great atmosphere. excellent sushi service was very good open to hotel guests and outsiders it can get very busy. it is lively and offers great live music on weekends

This bar has a great cocktail menu, which I did my best to work my way through! The food choices are really good (signature burger/sliders, gourmet fries, and the chocolate hazelnut dessert were our favs, but it's all good and the salads are huge). Leah, our waitress, was a delight. She's friendly, knowledgeable about the bar's offerings, and attentive without being overbearing. Steven Minor, the bar manager, is personable, an excellent mixologist, and keeps things running smoothly. We were fortunate to be there for two performances by Renoir Rodriguez and his trio. It made for a delightful experience and was a highlight of our trip. Mo Bar was an excellent and relaxing way to end our day.

Mo Bar manager Tamir is a poor representative of the Mandarin brand. Reckless management creates negative experience. Staff dissatisfaction is rampant. Mandarin needs to restore quality.

The moments we spent at the MO bar & Lounge were top-notch, thanks to Pamela, the amazing bartender whose brilliant talent to prepare fabulous cocktails, most of them of her own creation, is second to none! Thank you very much and we hope to come back soon to discover your new creations!

We ate at a variety of 5 star restaurants while in Miami but none could mix a cocktail like Eric. There was live music each evening and a lively (but not rowdy) crowd. Service here is the best you'll find anywhere.

Nice place to chill, drinks and finger food were good. LIve entertainment was awesome. No dislikes, Service was prompt and attentive.

Stopped for a drink before having dinner at La Mar. Very attentive and friendly staff offering great views of the city.

Loved the Mo Bar for a quick chill and drinks in a lovely modern friendly location. Lovely atmosphere and fun place to hang out.

Nice chat with friends with some life music. Quality drinks and comfy chairs... a must if visiting Mandarin.

The lounge serves a great range of drinks, and has a good wine list. Food is available, in the form of appetiser/starter dishes. Try the smoked salmon terrine!

The bar staff were pleasant and made an attempt to make us feel welcome and they succeeded. Drinks were well made and the tapas style food was delicious. We had a great time listening to the blues band.

Not with standing the million dollar view of the lighted Brickell Key Bridge, the shimmering city lights of the Miami Financial District reflected off the water of Biscayne Bay, you are in the posh setting of the Mandrian Oriental Hotel's lobby. Truly a downtown adult adventure! Excellent bar menu with a few delightful menu items that are well executed and timely. Bartenders that are professional, quick, and pay attention to classic recipes but can add a practiced flare that makes a difference. The environment is comfortable, guests well dressed and well behaved. Have been there in the past and was treated to an lively Latin styled Jazz Trio, wow, what rhythm and selection with an astonishing trumpet player. Missed them! Friday nite, a pair of brothers captivated Mo Bar with electric Spanish guitars with their energised renditions of everything from "Beseme Mucho" to Led Zepplin's "Stairway to Heaven". I have been in some terrific lobby bars but the Mo Bar in the side lobby of the Miami Mandrian Oriental Hotel ...is "Mo Betta"! Blugene

Our arrival in Miami would have been better off if we had stopped for dinner before checking in late...the MO Bar, while pretty and noisy, and good music was not a good choice for tire, hungry guests who wanted something nice to eat. The food was below average, expensive. and I would have preferred dinner with our high school daughter somewhere else. Definitely only a place for music and drinks...wouldn't try the food again.

While staying in the Mandarin Oriental over July 4th weekend, I definitely didn't expect an amazing bar with fabulous happy hour specials inside the hotel... but it existed - and blew our socks off! We had amazing, stiff cocktails and fabulous snacks (the sweet potato "fries" are a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!), with personable staff (hi Pamela!!!!!) and spectacular sunset views. Happy hour is Monday through Friday - don't miss it!!!

Excellent hotel bar with an amazing amount of (liquor) choices. Great service too - especially from Andrea who was always smiling and looked like she did her job with pleasure.

The atmosphere is low key and relaxed, not typical Miami. We went at happy hour. The cocktails were excellent and the view was amazing. The server didn’t rush us, she just provided great service.

My family and I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, and visited the MO bar multiple times. The atmosphere was great with a beautiful view of the city and the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was great with amazing fries, and the drinks were perfectly made. During our visit there was also a social hour where the drinks were discounted and in the evening live music was there creating a wonderful ambience. It is a great place to visit for happy hour and to sit to enjoy the view .

Checked into the Mandarin Oriental a little early so had lunch at the MO Bar. Honestly their chicken wings are fantastic!! Large and spicy buffalo. Really really good. Service a little slow but would eat there again!

Certainly the Friday night we visited was very busy, the crowd started gathering early and lasted well into the night. There was live music that was great to listen to, and plenty of people watching to keep you entertained. The outside terrace is perfect for relaxing and great views over the water of the city skyline.

Visited after dinner at La Mar on Saturday night. Great cocktails and superb service. Fun ambiance with live music. The bartenders were friendly and knowlegeable. Would definitely go back when I visit Miami.

The bar is very well stocked with all that you would require with a great list of specialty drinks. There was an amazing pair of guitarists on the Friday night that were worth going to see as they were very talented.

I have been a regular of the Mandarin Mo Bar since 2001 and it remains at the very top of my list of favorite places for food, drink and service. I highly recommend interested guests to visit for yourself. It is great for any occasion and for all clientele from family to friends to business!

The drinks and food were very good but the bar's business is purely from the hotel conference - so very quiet unless the conference is out and then it is packed with a large group that knows each other, no mingling with others like a regular bar.

This is a very stylish spot for a quick drink, snacks, or a more extended meal. You never know who you will see having a quiet champagne at the bar, which is frequently sought out by high-profile people just wanting to relax. Brilliant service. I walked in after an extended absence, and the server remembered both me and my preferred cocktail. Class all the way.

We spent the weekend at the MO for a wedding. What the MO Bar really excels at is Happy Hour! Fun drinks, sophisticated atmosphere, nice little snacks, too. PS We also discovered that the MO Bar is where morning coffee and tea are available. The coffee is good, and it was lovely to bring our coffee out to enjoy on the adjacent outdoor terrace.

Tried to enjoy an evening drink here on a couple occasions but ruined by live music which was so loud you couldn't hold a conversation. It was a joy when the musicians would stop playing from time to time. There is nowhere else to just have a drink once pool bar closed at 6 pm.

Well appointed Lobby Lounge. Good selection of bar snacks. Great way to finish the day with a nice relaxing atmosphere

The place is beautiful, high ceiling, comfortable seats, amazing bar decoration, amazing views over the downtown, and the cocktails are first class. Try the Pisco Sour with tamarind and jalapeño, strong and delicious, or the Negroni conserved in old barrel. Of course service is professional and welcoming, and the prices are very honest for such a top place. We visit regularly and we´ll be back, of course.

We stopped at the bar for a quick lunch and ended up hanging out for quite a while. Gerald is a star - great bartender and great server! Had the turkey club and a burger, both were delicious. Nice to have a casual place to stop if you don't feel like going to one of the restaurants.

Jorge, our server, was terrific. We appreciated his friendly manner and expertise. Menu is quite good. Unfortunately, our burger was well done instead of medium and quite hard to eat because of that. Lovely ambiance and service made up for the food.

The bar has a good vibe at night , live music and cocktails. Pamela is the queen of cocktails 🍸, with skill and enthusiasm making real drinks with real ingredients a skill that is lost in many a bar , Try the Godfather

If you want a great atmosphere this is it. The bar is beautiful! And you know what made it even better? The bartenders-Anne, Eric and Alejandro. They remember what your drinking, offer suggestions if you want something different, and remember you from past visits. Excellent service!

Guests can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Bay and Miami. Had dinner and drinks here on a Saturday evening. The dinner menu was a bit limited. Heard the bar served exotic cocktails and band was Latin jazz so we decided it was worth a visit. Enjoyed a wonderful up-scale evening with friends. The Cuban jazz trio played standard pieces;inspiring the patrons to participate in some salsa moves. Extensive cocktails, wines and premium bar choices.

Our group of 9 visited here to celebrate my nieces college graduation. The hotel is gorgeous and bar has lovely views of the bay. Our waiter seemed attentive at first, but then disappeared and never returned ... If his shift ended he never told us and we finally had to get someone else to deliver our tab to the table. We had sushi and a Caesar salad as appetizers. The salad was good, but sushi was subpar. Certainly not the quality Id expect from the Mandarin Oriental. The drinks were average. Overall a nice spot, but perhaps stick to wine and beer without appetizers.

We stay in Miami Beach 6 months over the Swedish winter, we just wanted something different so we went over to DownTown for a drink, they had a super happy hour so actually we just ate their marvellous bites in the bar, all good, Sliders , Tacos , sushi. The wine was superb also drinks. The best service I EVER had in Miami from Sabrina who was extremely nice, attentive and professional even though we came with kids and was a bit messy, we had a fantastic evening and will be back. :) 10 out of 10 Service.

They help you to choose the best cocktails . Cozy ambiance , soft live music and again , very nice service.

Went to this lounge for a late night snack and drink. Premium scotch Food was good too.attentive staff Will return back

We really enjoyed ourselves here. Service was fast and friendly. Food and drinks were tasty. We has sushi and the burger. Nice atmosphere!

Beautiful bar, beautiful people, Good drinks and small bites and a nice view. Have a mojito, you wont be sorry.

The MO Bar and lounge is a casual gathering area with friendly staff, stiff drinks and specials during happy hour. It is a very pleasurable area right in the lobby.

This is fantastic setting with wonderful, views of the bay through thirty foot glass windows. Try one of the special cocktails. Particularly enjoyed the barrel aged Negroni.

Tamir directs a great bar! From a light breakfast to lunch, cocktail hour, late night dinner and digestifs, the bar - its ambiance and it’s staff - were among the best. We arrived at the hotel late at night and had a very later dinner and then the following morning a light breakfast. The dinner menu was essentially that of all the restaurants in the hotel and the selection of drinks was broad - especially including an Amaro, which is so rarely available. Staff was professionally friendly and helpful, providing reasonably responsive service. However the evening server really needed additional training in setting up a tables ahead of food delivery and appropriately establishing guest expectations. The breakfast buffet of fruit, yoghurt and breads was excellent and the server unbelievably attentive. The location adjacent to the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental is ideal and the view back to the mainland is spectacular.

Out of the few wonderful days I’ve spent at the Mandarin Oriental, an experience that made things go better for me were the moments I’ve spent at MO Bar. I had a wonderful lunch and absolutely exquisite drinks, the burger and fries were truly delicious. On the weekend, they bring in a wonderful latin jazz band that really makes you wanna dance and party. Their salmon sashimi is a must have. Truly an experience not to be missed. I also had the pleasure and honor of being served by their wonderful waitress Karina who really made me feel at home. Just wonderful place.

I came here for a small meal before dinner. They have wonderful drinks ($8) and appetizers ($5) from 5-7. The calamari is a must have!

Just need more food selection at the bar, but that is coming from what I understand! Nice place, nice atmosphere and a great place to just have a drink and take in Downtown Miami.

For that price and short menu, we would rather drink more special drinks in the restaurant downstairs (La Mar).

This is a very pleasant restaurant. The only knock might be that the menu selection is a bit exotic; the food could be wonderful but you weren't sure what you might get when you order. Very nice though.

Hotel lobby bars can be dull... But MO bar is different. We sat down to Pamela our bartender and our night transformed... Pamela’s hospitality, warmth and good humor made our 3 night stay here one of our favorite weekends ever!!! Thank you Pamela and MO Bar @MandarinOriental.

This typical hotel bar is located inside the Mandarin Hotel in Brickell Key. It is usually visited by tourists rather than locals. The place has a great atmosphere and a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay. On Tuesdays they offer unlimited sushi for $25, and they have a Happy Hour from Monday to Friday.

The bar got pretty crowded at night, more so that most hotel bars. They had a really good selection of alcohol - some nicer stuff that you can't get at most bars. It closed pretty early on Thursday night though (12am) which was shocking and disappointing.

This is a small lounge in the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental hotel. Most of the crowd seemed to be hotel guest or those enjoying a cocktail before or after dining in one of the hotel's restaurants. They had a light menu which turned out to include some excellent options. The burger was one of the best I've ever had. Other people at the table had seafood options and enjoyed them very much. The service was prompt. The music was lively; so this is not a spot for a quiet drink... at least while the musicians are playing.

this place is beautiful,unfortunately they got the wrong people. This bar has a lot of potential,but service was not good,and the manager that supposed to be working was trying to pick up on a girl,and didnt even care the bad service that we were receiving,the waitress we had that night she didn't even had the personality and match with this place....good luck but I wont come back for drinks,in Miami are better places with good service included

The MO Bar is the heartbeat of the hotel, it seems. It serves Continental Breakfqst each morning, and then lunch and appitizers and drinks galore. Beautifully appointed space, with upscale Asian influences. Live music was great on Thursday night!

Live music provided here at the weekend was good. The atmosphere was laid back and calm. To top it up, the cocktails and wine were well priced

Located inside the Mandarin Oriental, this bar is the perfect place for a quick snack or drink. Try the roasted turkey club sandwich, delicious. As well as good food and drink, it's the place to tasse a real espresso coffee.

We had pre dinner drinks in this bar and enjoyed the experience of a couple of new cocktails based on the traditional margarita and pisco sour. Service was excellent also and a nice setting.

I love the way they redefined the space of the Mo bar at the Mandarin Oriental. My husband and I had a drink before dinner with friends and I was surprised with the best Old Fashioned I've had in Miami.

Food was good but overpriced for "bar food". Interesting choices and nice drinks in a pleasant environment.

Popular spot with the hotel guests looking over to downtown Miami. Excellent service and attracts a nice crowd.

the gentlemen who provide the music that night where great I was there the week after 4th of july and I came everynight just to hear them play, the drinks are really pricey but its to be expected for this establishment, service was good and the cocktail waitresses where easy on the eyes, overall great vibes here and I recommend going even if you are not staying at the hotel.

Carlos is the best person there, the contrails made to order also I'd suggest for anyone to go Monday to Thursday 5 till 8' it's 3 cocktails for $25 and u can't go wrong they are very good and strong :) love spending time there in the evenings it's so relaxing and you always feel welcome.

The Mo-Bar is located right in the Mandarin Oriental Miami lobby. It is the best option if you are looking for something less expensive, quick, good and more American Style food.

Vegetarian dishes + Excellent service by Mia. The ambience and life music over the weekend is amazing.

We did a tour of some premium Miami bars, ofcourse we couldn't skip MO Bar with it' amazing view. Especially after dark you can enjoy it's magical view, one of the best in Miami. The mojito's were delicious, most cocktails come at around $18.

I live in the area, and anytime I want to meet up for cocktails with friends I go here. The service is great, the view is lovely, and the drinks/food are always impeccable.

The service was great. Greet with a smile and found the conversation with the bar tender very pleasant.

Each evening when we were at the hotel they had a different band. They serve drinks and small bites here as well as a quick continental breakfast in the morning.

I simply loved the sushi, the drinks were on point and the staff was very pleasant. The happy hour is also a delightful touch.

We were there on a friday night and there was a wonderful live band. Very relaxing nice music and there was nice action, They also have outdoor seating with an amazing view. They have a small menu of really nice food items and the servers are skilled in cocktails. I recommend for a drink if in the area and of course staying at the hotel is an amazing experience. 5 star all the way

Upon entrance at MO Bar, I was warmly greeted by the staff. I sat at the bar and was served by Jose - very genuine service and great recommendations! Jose selected and crafted 3 incredible cocktails! Moreover, I was also approached by Iain the beverage manager who was very welcoming and took the time to talk to me about their upcoming new cocktail selection and various products they use in their cocktails. To end this I was impressed by Jose and Iain great and GENUINE service! Must try! Highly recommend!! Will be back for more!

Great service, music, cocktails, appetizers and a fantastic view of Biscayne Bay and Brickell. Since it's located on Brickell Key, the atmosphere is relaxed. You can also take a walk around the Key to enjoy more views of the city, especially after dark.

Quick service. The bartenders make wonderful drinks and are very friendly. The tapas are outstanding and as the title stated, this bar is a great way to start the evening.

This is one of my favorite spots, it is practically my kitchen. It is nested on the Lobby of Mandarin Oriental, in Brickell Key, Miami. It has gorgeous views of the bay, the city and BK's bridge. Mo has plenty of seating hight tables and gathering seats around its bar and a few outdoor seating facing the waters, beautiful. The staff is supper friendly, professional and truly understand the meaning of customs service. Two of the ladies, Pam and Andrea, always go out of their way to make us smile, laugh and feel welcomed treating us as family. Two excellent fine people. The wine selection at MO is very good, but they need to bring back my favorite: Chalk Hill Chardonnay. The sushi is the best around, so fresh, tasty and perfectly plated. The dragon fly and anticuchos are a must-have. Prices are at the Mandarin Oriental's level, but if you go on Friday or Saturday you will get a marvelous "free" concert by outstanding musicians:The Fox Brothers and their spanish guitars (Fri) and a Latin-Jazz trio with a magical horn (Sat). Come ready to sit and relax in this discreet and exclusive spot. Such level of sincere service and free entertainment makes this very expensive place worth every doubloon paid.

We used the bar several times over the couple of weeks we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It's not huge but chairs are comfy and the bar staff are friendly and attentive. One night there was really nice live music which was not too loud so you could still talk. We met business colleagues here so it was important to talk, however one evening there was a private party with very loud music, yet the bar was still open to residents. No where to sit and you certainly could not hold a conversation, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Since we arrived we were never offered a snack from the bar until we asked for it after 1 hour and our order did not arrive at our table and we had already asked twice for our order. We requested the wine at a temperature of 28 C and they did not bring it So. the music and the place very good, shame about the service

I enjoyed coming here for drinks and some nice music. They have the best Leche Matinees here. And did I mention the great atmosphere. Only thing I found a little steep was the $29.00 valet parking fee. A bit to much for me..

I spent New Years here and was the worst experience . The MO Bar Manager Steve Minor was unprofessional and rude and he didn't know what he was doing... Shame on the Mandarin they were unprepared moving furniture in front of the guests and customers......

The MO Bar is understated and relaxed with a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay. It's a great place to wind down after a busy day. If you are lucky someone will be getting married and you can see their photo shoot! Generous and delicious drinks.

This location is amazing for happy hour. We went and they were telling us about their new menu highlighting various Miami area neighborhoods. Had the Hialeah cocktail. It was delicious. The staff was amazingly friendly.

Fantastic food and drinks at the ever popular Mandarin Bar, especially when they have conferences in the hotel. Great Happy Hour selections, but if you miss that, I would stay and find room to enjoy the relaxing Spanish Guitar performances in the evening.

We sat down for a drink at the MO Bar back in August, 2016, and we were met with a very cold, unfriendly, apathetic barmaid. We were made to feel like we were bothering her. We did have one drink and left. Happy trails.

Was a guest at the hotel and spent some time in the lounge before dinner so I didnt get to eat here but the small bites looked great. Seemed like a place that the locals really like to grab a drink over happy hour. Place was packed at 7pm. It has a nice view and people watching. Cocktails were nicely done and they are priced great for happy hour.

Beautiful and cozy. Great menu. It has an incredible view of Brickell Bay. The night becomes even more beautiful with the effect of the lights of this spectacular city. High quality live music and good taste. Excellent service.

Delish sparking cocktail with Elderflower Liquor. It tantalizes all five senses...if you hear the opening of the sparking wine bottle.

We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and the bar was a great perk. The view of the downtown, Miami lights is beautiful. Many nights they had a amazing jazz group playing. Made it definitely feel like a lounge. Tried a few drinks during our stay and all were good. There is a happy hour and the drinks were a good deal at this time. Unlike many hotel bars it was usually full. Also the guests did not look like they were coming from a hotel meeting but made a trip to come and relax in the lounge. Good job Mandarin Oriental.

I haven't been here in 17 years, when the MO was THE hotel to stay at and this bar was fresh and contemporary. They have not changed a thing in almost 2 decades. And they desperately need to. This place needs a remodel and fast to remain a top-tier hotel, because it is not cheap. The views remain amazing and the staff was very friendly, but avoid this place unless you enjoy dining and drinking in a time warp.

The wait staff was attentive and fast. The selection of beverages was wonderful. The restaurant while small it was elegant and tastefully decorated.

MO Bar is one of the best bars in Miami, but tucked away in the lobby of the slightly off-the-beaten-track Mandarin Oriental Hotel, it's not on the radar of many locals. It should be, because it has a great staff and makes wonderfully inventive cocktails. And best of all, MO Bar has access to a terrific menu of sushi and anticuchos from La Mar by Gaston Acurio downstairs from the lobby. In good weather, the outdoor terrace is open as well.

Lovely warm night in Miami perfect for drinks at MO bar....went with family, service was very good..

If you are coming in Miami, this is the place you have to visit! So classy! Lobby in this hotel is awesome! They dont have huge menu but, the things what they have it more then enough! Live music, no super loud... everything perfect! Also, girl who serve my friend and me, Letisia - so kind, sweet and nice girl! Huge recommend for this place!

Very attentive staff, amazing cocktails with a view, sophisticated decor and an outdoor area close by for cigars
